Leon Marchand can handle Paris Olympics pressure, says US swimming coach Bowman

The Hindu  

Legendary swimming coach Bob Bowman said Sunday that he believes Leon Marchand can handle the pressure at next year’s Paris Olympics after “a very good rehearsal” at the world championships. French sensation Marchand has been one of the stars of the competition this week in Fukuoka, claiming three gold medals and breaking Michael Phelps’s long-standing 400m individual medley world record. WATCH: Katie Ledecky surpasses Michael Phelps’ record of most individual gold medals at Swimming World Championships “That’s something Michael always did -- that’s what the great ones do,” said Bowman, who is serving as head coach of the US team in Fukuoka. “When the pressure is on, they rise to meet it.” Bowman said Marchand shares the same “mindset” as Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time with a staggering 28 medals.
